The series is labelled slightly differently to other Netflix original series. Since most are marked by seasons or as a limited series, Uncoupled is noted on the site as "eight episodes" which seems to suggest they are keeping the show on.

But due to the way season one had ended, it would be a surprise not to see Michael and his friends continue to their adventure in of New York City a little longer.

What would be the plot of Uncoupled: Season 2?

The cast offered some information in an interview with TVLine, including the series creators Darren Star and Jeffrey Richman. But before that, the first season ended with a few big moments adding to the drama.

There could potentially be more for Stanley as he battles breast cancer, and more on how Billy was forced into some introspection about the way he handles life after not being included in Stanley's diagnosis. Suzanne ended the season reeling from seeing her son Kai's birth father, though Campbell says she doesn't know who he is and how Michael will react to Colin after finding him back in their apartment and admitting he may have made a “mistake.”
